split worker for reduced concurrency

10

it seems like the time loss problem is getting more acute with multiple large core workers. See e.g. https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/62e523e2b383a712b1386193 We know this is probably due to cutechess not being able...

add a few more approvers

right now, looks like we're short on approves, and I think some regulars really would be happy to help out. Just looking at https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/graphs/contributors?from=2017-01-01&to=2018-09-29&type=c people like @protonspring @Rocky640 @joergoster @candirufish...

There is the request to show hostnames for fishtest workers. I think this is reasonable, and useful for debugging. Users with multiple machines might find it difficult to check which...

an exchange in discord about a crashing worker getraideBFF https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/61d800f1f5fd40f357469b0a revealed that that worker was running into https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/issues/3424 This can't be easily fixed in SF, but maybe the worker code...

github proxy

22

it might be a good idea to add the option of a github proxy, in light of the problem access github by noob's workers. https://github.com/glinscott/fishtest/blob/c95857e5ae55018858841cb8952939e2b7e541c2/worker/games.py#L184 would need to insert https://ghproxy.com/...

SPRT test not accepted with large LLR

https://tests.stockfishchess.org/html/live_elo.html?61a9d4bf9e8855bba1a35c4f was stopped by hand after reaching 3.11 maybe related to the fact that there are many purged workers ?

fishtest bias by test time?

This is more a question, rather than an issue. Probably for @vdbergh . Could it be that our fishtest SPRT results are biased due to the fact that our SPRT...
